skills before starting Unit 1: text structure, figurative language, authors viewpoint, and
authors purpose. All 5

to check out at least 1 book at their Lexile level. Additionally, students will learn how to
set an attainable reading goal.
Writing: Super Hero Paragraphs: Students will continue to work through the
writing process by drafting, participating in peer conferences, editing and revising their
super hero paragraphs.
Math: Unit 1 is not a tested unit- therefore, no pre-test was given for this unit. Students
will practice identifying factors of given numbers by using arrays and divisibility rules.
Students will also identify and work with square numbers.
Science: Students will read to identify elements and properties of matter.

instead of simultaneously. After this science unit on matter, students will
then be taught a Social Science unit. Science homework will often consist
of reading and note-taking so each student can be prepared to discuss the
material together in class.
